People addicted to opioids have found a way to get high off anti-diarrhea medication, too.
The problem is serious enough that U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb asked makers of loperamide, sold over the counter as Imodium AD, to change the way they package the product.
Today the medication comes in blister packs. You cannot buy more than 48 grams per package.
I knew that opioid use causes constipation. Have you seen the commercial with the good-looking middle-aged man at the construction site, happy his pain is gone but all bound up? Making jokes about it?
